Battery Information

The P110 radio receives its power (7.5V DC) from a rechargeable nickel-cadmium battery as listed in the accesso- ries section. These batteries, designed specifically for use in the P110 radio, are a safe, dependable power source. Proper care of the battery will ensure its effectiveness and allow for peak performance of the radio.

Recharging Nickel-

Cadmium Batteries

Recharge the battery before use to ensure optimum capacity and performance. The battery was designed to be used only with a Motorola P110 charger. Charg- ing in non-Motorola equipment may lead to battery damage and void the battery warranty.

NOTE

When charging a battery that is attached to a radio, always turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.

Charging Temperature

The battery should be about 77° (room temperature) whenever possible. Charging a cold battery (below 50°F) may result in leakage of electrolyte, and ultimately, in failure of the battery. Charging a hot bat- tery (about 95° F) results in reduced dis- charge capacity, affecting the performance of the radio. P110 rapid rate battery charg- ers contain a temperature sensing circuit
